The New Jersey Devils are apparently expected to re-sign RFA defenseman Luke Hughes to a long-term contract any day now, with training camp looming, but at what cost?

According to NHL insider Pierre LeBrun on TSN's latest edition of "Insider Trading," the Devils and Hughes's camp are still plugging along with the process here, but the expectation is for a long-term deal.
